Yes, it's true. Gateway Analytical has one of the fastest turnaround times in the industry.

Better results. Faster. As soon as your sample comes through the door, we spring into action to properly log it, store it, and notify the individual scientists that will be diligently working on your project. Then it's off to specialized sample preparation and analytical probing by our fleet of cutting edge instruments. You'll have data, interpretation, and solutions in no time.

Gateway Analytical has carefully assembled a diverse team of curious experts. When the other guys run away from difficult problems or second guess their approach, our scientists move in to take a closer look with a forensic-based framework. Our process is focused on outcomes and driven by experts that have seen it all. You bring challenges. We deliver creative solutions.

We're not just another analytical lab. Why not? We spent years building a leading position in the highly-regulated pharmaceutical industry. That means our facilities are FDA-inspected, cGMP certified, and maintain ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 17025 (testing and calibration) standards. Simply put, there's a high bar for quality in all our work that others just can't match.

We've ditched one-size-fits-all customer service for a more personal, collaborative approach.

When you need us, call us. We're always here to answer your questions. As our growing list of returning customers has learned, you'll get to know the individual scientists working with your team to deliver results. They're real people. Our innovative real-time collaboration technology even allows us to demonstrate results and provide updates -- live from the lab.

Pharmaceutical Analysis Services From Gateway Analytical

Our FDA-inspected labs help to ensure our results are reproducible and our analyses are accurate. We have experience with every step of a drug product's market journey, with the ability to answer questions about drug development, transportation and handling, and manufacturing inconsistencies.

Breadcrumb

Product surfaces can affect the life expectancy of a material, the functionality and quality of the end product, and determine performance. Therefore, it is important to understand the suitability of surfaces that interact with your specific drug formulation to avoid costly defects that may arise during storage or handling. Should a defect form, its cause and potential impact on product quality cannot be appreciated without thorough analysis.

Gateway Analytical offers surface defect analysis in order to determine the presence of defects and analyze how they formed. Our experts rely on both imaging and chemical assessments to arrive at a final conclusion for your project. We use optical microscopy and high resolution SEM imaging to probe the appearance of surfaces and, if needed, also leverage spectroscopy techniques to gain insight into the composition of a surface for complete analysis.

Related Analytical Instrumentation & Techniques

Our expert scientists conduct various analytical techniques using cutting-edge spectroscopy instruments. We take a forensic approach to problem solving that ensures we see through complexity to arrive at timely and accurate solutions focused on outcomes for your team.

This analysis produces high magnification images with excellent resolution, and contrast based on chemical makeup. Additionally, EDS indicates which elements are present in the sample. The SEM is a microscope that focuses a beam of electrons onto a sample, causing the sample to emit three types of signals. The instrument has detectors that process the signals that are emitted from the sample: Backscatter electrons, Secondary electrons, and X-Rays. Gateway uses the SEM systems for:

Raman Spectroscopy

Raman spectroscopy is a complimentary technique to FTIR, and can be used to identified inorganic materials such as metal oxides, minerals, and pigments that may not be identified by FTIR, as well as many organic materials such as polymers. During Raman analysis, we present a sample with a laser and examine the vibrational and rotational modes of a molecule, which give a molecular fingerprint in the form of a Raman spectrum. This spectrum allows us to identify organic and inorganic materials, examine the crystalline structure of a material, perform polymorph analysis, and much more. At Gateway, we use manual confocal Raman, Raman Chemical Imaging and automated Raman Analysis (SPE).
